...maybe McCain is trying to get her out of the VP debate ("we'll have to replace the vp debate with our debate, since we had to help the country this weekend yada yada yada")

Didn't Bush make similar arguments vis a vis his deep understanding of Mexico based on being the Governor of Texas?

I keep remembering that SNL skit with the Dukakis/Bush I debates where Bush keeps reiterating "thousand points of light", to which Dukakis keeps saying "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."

How the polls aren't a blowout is beyond me.

she looks so pretty in pink.

Nice of her to mention Canada.  We may wonder if she realizes that the Porcupine herd of caribou, whose calving grounds are on the coastal plain of ANWR, where she promotes drilling for oil, are for most of the year Canadian animals.

Chickens deserve our true friendship! So do fish! So do other sentient beings! Let us learn to be kind.

Couldn't quite put my finger on it so I did a Google search and found that I'm not alone:

It's getting to the point that I'm wary of watching interviews with her. The cringe factor is getting to much for me to handle. Foreign leaders must be rubbing their hands together with glee at the thought that this twit may become their new sparring partner.

I wonder if we could sell Alaska back to the Russians?

We could use the money to bail out Wall Street.

BioD, ha ha!  -- Hank and Peggy, 2008?

That Alaska is a state has always been a source of embarrassment, but perhaps never more obviously so than in this election, thanks to a hair-raising development in the Republican campaign.

Sale of that place back to Russia might indeed be a sweet short-term stunt.  But one can hardly imagine the Russians would be better stewards of the Alaskan environment than the US.

It would be better, of course, to let the place revert to the Inupiat, Yup'ik, Aleuts, Athabascans, Tlingit, and any other Native Alaskans whom I may be overlooking.  But of course that is the sort of thing that could never ever happen, given the wicked ways of this world of woe.

but I can't figure out where in Alaska she thinks her house is. Does anybody else have a problem with this?
